Without meaning to pry - maybe you're a CIA agent or something - it is difficult to provide anything worthwhile without specifics. - What kind of job do you do now and how much do you make?

You said that the market in which you are interested has homes which are extremely outdated and have a lot of potential, so if you're attempt to add a lot of value, it may be more worthwhile to apply for something like an FHA 203k loan or (if you or a spouse are military) a VA loan combined with the VA rehab program.If you just get a 0% down loan on an extremely outdated home, you could still be looking at substantial out of pocket repairs (not to mention that many banks are hesitant to loan on homes which need work).

BP doesn't solve our problems, but it helps point us in a worthwhile direction with a lot of supporting cast members. 

I know nothing about that market but it might be worthwhile for you to look into if you could leverage the proceeds of your MN sale into better cash flow in TX.

These people can point you to good worthwhile professionals who can be your core 4.I bought my first property while in Japan with only my core people to guide me.

Of course, you don't so expect it to be costly.My client and I decided to pass but, again, it had been a worthwhile experience for the owner/seller with his 7 year tenant. 

Including the proper disclosure on late pay marketing never gives worthwhile results.

I am using the Rental Property calculator and have run multiple scenarios and still have yet to find a scenario that makes a purchase worth while.

Then look for properties, expect a bunch that don't cash flow or have enough return to make it worthwhile.
